Class RSABlindSignatureClient

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.crypto.signers.RSABlindSignatureClient

public class RSABlindSignatureClient
extends java.lang.Object

Client side of the RSA Blind Signature Scheme with Appendix (RSABSSA) defined in RFC 9474. A single blind(byte[]) call performs both Prepare (sec. 4.1) and Blind (sec. 4.2); finalize(Blinded, byte[]) performs Finalize (sec. 4.4). The BlindSign server step lives in RSABlindSignatureServer and the variant choices in RSABlindSignatureParameters.

The client side is therefore two calls — blind then finalize — with the server's BlindSign in between:

 RSABlindSignatureClient client = new RSABlindSignatureClient(
     RSABlindSignatureParameters.RSABSSA_SHA384_PSS_RANDOMIZED, publicKey);

 RSABlindSignatureClient.Blinded blinded = client.blind(msg);

 // send blinded.getBlindedMessage() to the server; receive blind_sig

 byte[] sig = client.finalize(blinded, blindSig);
 // (blinded.getPreparedMessage(), sig) is the RSASSA-PSS pair verifiers check
 

The SecureRandom used for the prepare prefix, the EMSA-PSS salt, and the blinding factor is supplied at construction; the (parameters, publicKey) convenience constructor uses the CryptoServicesRegistrar default.

Blind is expressed on the existing BC RSA blinding toolkit — RSABlindingFactorGenerator, RSABlindingParameters and PSSSigner driven by an RSABlindingEngine — the same composition PSSBlindTest uses for Chaum RSA-PSS blind signing.

Each request's state is carried by the returned RSABlindSignatureClient.Blinded (the blinded message, the prepared message, and the secret unblinding value), so a single instance is reusable across requests.

For randomised variants the resulting signature is over a prepared message that prepends a fresh 32-byte prefix to msg (RFC 9474 sec. 4.1); that prepared message — RSABlindSignatureClient.Blinded.getPreparedMessage() — is what downstream verifiers check the signature against, not the original msg.

byte[]	finalize(RSABlindSignatureClient.Blinded blinded, byte[] blindSig)	RFC 9474 Finalize (sec. 4.4): unblind the server's signature for the supplied RSABlindSignatureClient.Blinded request and verify it as a standard RSASSA-PSS signature over the prepared message.

Constructor Detail

RSABlindSignatureClient

public RSABlindSignatureClient(RSABlindSignatureParameters parameters,
                               RSAKeyParameters publicKey)

Equivalent to RSABlindSignatureClient(RSABlindSignatureParameters, RSAKeyParameters, SecureRandom) with a SecureRandom obtained from CryptoServicesRegistrar.

Parameters:

parameters - the RFC 9474 sec. 5 variant.

publicKey - the server's RSA public key.

RSABlindSignatureClient

public RSABlindSignatureClient(RSABlindSignatureParameters parameters,
                               RSAKeyParameters publicKey,
                               java.security.SecureRandom random)

Parameters:

parameters - the RFC 9474 sec. 5 variant.

publicKey - the server's RSA public key.

random - source of randomness for the prepare prefix (randomised variants), the EMSA-PSS salt, and the blinding factor; must not be null — use RSABlindSignatureClient(RSABlindSignatureParameters, RSAKeyParameters) for the CryptoServicesRegistrar default.

Method Detail

blind

public RSABlindSignatureClient.Blinded blind(byte[] msg)
                                      throws CryptoException

RFC 9474 Prepare (sec. 4.1) followed by Blind (sec. 4.2): prepare msg (prepend a fresh 32-byte prefix for randomised variants, identity otherwise), EMSA-PSS encode it, draw an invertible blinding factor r, and blind the encoding to z = encoded_msg * r^e mod n. The returned RSABlindSignatureClient.Blinded carries the prepared message, the blinded_msg to send to the server, and the secret unblinding value for finalize(Blinded, byte[]).

Parameters:

msg - the application message to be signed.

Throws:

CryptoException - if EMSA-PSS encoding fails (e.g. the modulus is too small for the variant's hash/salt lengths) or the encoded message is not coprime with the modulus.

finalize

public byte[] finalize(RSABlindSignatureClient.Blinded blinded,
                       byte[] blindSig)
                throws CryptoException

RFC 9474 Finalize (sec. 4.4): unblind the server's signature for the supplied RSABlindSignatureClient.Blinded request and verify it as a standard RSASSA-PSS signature over the prepared message.

The method name follows the RFC 9474 sec. 4.4 Finalize step; it is an overload of Object.finalize() (distinct signature), not an override.

Parameters:

blinded - the value returned by blind(byte[]) for this request.

blindSig - the blind_sig returned by the server.

Returns:

the unblinded RSASSA-PSS signature; it verifies against blinded.getPreparedMessage().

Throws:

CryptoException - if blindSig has the wrong length or the unblinded signature fails RSASSA-PSS verification.
